Engagement, involvement and immersion (EII): diaspora for developmentDr Anil Gupta
There is a huge upsurge in the mood of non-resident Indians to engage with developmental currents in the country. Many of them want to contribute toward building up a New India but don't know enough about how to go about it. The suggestions below may help all stakeholders in making this happen. I am also attaching 15 global inclusive innovation challenge which may be addressed by the diaspora in a very productive manner.Support—sporadic causes
Sustain -- ongoing initiatives of state, market, civil society, mentor, strengthen the existing programs
Spawn ---sow the seeds of new ideas, innovations
Scale up– help scale up upcoming start-ups, fledgling initiatives, small enterprises of women, disabled etc.,
Start-up– set up new enterprises for meeting the unmet social needs,
Stitch a gap: missing link in development value chain
Submit – immersion program for NRI youth in Indian reality, culture and voluntary work jointly with Indian youth

when have we seen so much policy traction for an idea of knowledge-rich, economically poor girl child in our country? Thanks and congratulations to Ms Maneka Gandhi, Minister of women and child Welfare, Union Government, for appreciating the idea of Shireen and taking it up for urgent implementation at the highest level.
If there were more ministers paying attention to grassroots ideas and creativity, India can transform faster than ever before, hope PMO India is listening

The document discusses the Honey Bee Network, an initiative that aims to connect grassroots innovators and traditional knowledge holders with investors, entrepreneurs, scientists and others who can help develop and disseminate their innovations. It outlines the network's goals to overcome barriers like language and provide open access collaboration platforms. It also discusses challenges such as many innovations only being at proof-of-concept stages and the lack of common design languages. The network works to bridge formal and informal science and foster partnerships between innovators and high-tech networks to augment green grassroots innovations.

Empathetic innovations for closing the social technological gap: Honey Bee Network Model
Inclusion of bypassed spaces, sectors, skills and social segments in developmental agenda has rightly engaged the attention of world technology leaders. But this inclusion in the true sense, may not happen unless we begin to learn from grassroots innovators and communities and blend formal and informal S & T systems. This has been the mission pursued by The Honey Bee Network, a social movement for the last twenty five years. The heuristics of sustainable frugal innovation will not emerge from a jugaad (makeshift) mentality. These will require an empathetic understanding of affordability, accessibility, availability, rejuvenability, durability and circularity of products and services. Designing new solutions by building upon artefactual, metaphorical, heuristic and gestalt aspects of innovation will fertilise our imagination, enrich scientific inquiry and result in reciprocal, responsive, and responsible relationship with knowledge rich- economically poor, creative communities.

The Blunder Of Confusing Jugaad As Or Leading To InnovationAditya Yadav
The document discusses the concept of "jugaad" in India, which refers to creative, improvised solutions born from lack of resources. While some argue jugaad could be considered a form of "frugal innovation", the document argues strongly that jugaad is actually an act of desperation, not a sustainable strategy, and disregards safety, quality and legal standards. Jugaad is presented as the source of poor service culture, illegal acts, and a barrier to meritocracy in India. Rather than leading to innovation, the document says jugaad needs to be avoided and "fixed" due to its disastrous effects on society, business, and the economy over time.

20171107 plastic maker hubs overview for xe marketplace_for truusTruus Huisman
Plastic Maker Hubs aims at tackling the wicked and highly critical problem of plastic waste from the source. We believe the problem is rooted in miscalculated value: negative externalities are not priced in waste, waste pickers valuable work is not reflected in their income, and consumers do not have an opportunity to spend her money on a 'better' plastic. Our contribution to the solution is a series of small-scale hubs/workshops where waste-pickers convert plastic waste into a range of design products such as coasters, notebooks, wall clocks, furniture etc. These products embed principles of fair trade & circular economy, tapping into a huge global market of conscious consumers, both B2B and B2C. We aim at an holistic upliftment of the waste-pickers' communities & livelihoods, in terms of more income, dignified work and status.

Indicators for the Assessment of the local and indigenous InnnovationsDr Anil Gupta
This document discusses the need for indicators to assess local and indigenous innovations. It argues that current indicators neglect the linkages between soil, plant, animal and human health. Local knowledge systems may be more sensitive to these types of indicators. A taxonomy of indicators is proposed that considers sources, methods, consequences, motivations and other dimensions beyond just performance. Indicators should also track stresses on local communities and address problems faced by underrepresented groups like women. Valid indicators require cultural embeddedness and self-governing institutions to enact appropriate social responses.

Four levels of learning
43. Based on college level survey on the impact of
the efforts
• More than 50,000 students in summer of 2011 and more than
74,000 students in more than 30 sectors/disciplines in summer of
2012 worked with more than 6,800 MSMEs starting from locating
challenges via industrial visits and developing them further in final
year of their academic calendar.
• While doing a online survey University shared that around 19,10
units ( SMEs) claimed benefiting from the innovative inputs,
prototypes, suggestive process innovations and shared
complementary wishes with the students and faculties who worked
based on the challenge given by them during summer.
• Nearly 100 patents have been filed by students of 2012 batch after
1 cycle of this exercise.
